1000 Brookside Drive has seen its share of restaurant and market concepts but we’re particularly excited about the latest rendition, which will host a grand opening event on Friday. What makes the latest version more noteworthy? In this girl’s humble opinion, it’s the leadership… steeped in deep hospitality industry experience. Let’s get to know Brookside Bodega together.
Listen Up… These Events Just Might Change Your Perspective
Easier than “walking a mile in someone else’s shoes”, we are excited about these upcoming events that allow you to simply sit, relax, and listen for your chance to hear from others about their first-hand experiences… the first takes place on Friday at Raleigh’s Union Station.
Friday Five: Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up, It’s the First Newsletter of the Month 😎
It’s a new month and we are heading into my favorite season! Who else is ready for sun, fun, and seasonal cocktails?! Speaking of seasonal cocktails, Killjoy has a new concoction that is sure to wake you up—the Coffee Break. The Coffee Break is made up of Espresso Vodka, Lavender-Hibiscus Infused Sweet Vermouth, Brown Sugar, and Topped with Alcohol-Infused Whip. All of these ingredients combine to make one delicious cocktail your taste buds will love and it will help fuel those late-night dance parties that are sure to happen this summer. Stop in this weekend to try one and grab your morning coffee right now—it’s time for your first Friday Five of the month!
But First… We Are Making Raleigh Spa Month a Thing
Why should Miami get to have all the fun!? We have so many great spas in the Triangle, so this month, we are going to be giving four lucky winners a $50 gift card to one of our favorite places to pamper!
Tired of Sleepy-Looking Eyelids?
If you can’t tell, the “summer slowdown” is already having an effect on me which is why I am kicking off Raleigh Spa Month with one of my favorites… Azura Skin Care Center in Cary. Yes, I know it is not in Raleigh, but it is worth the extra few-minute drive. They also have a new treatment that I am so excited about–Upneeq®–the only FDA-approved prescription eye drop indicated for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying lids) in adults. If your eyelids look “tired” or “droopy,” this treatment could be perfect for you.
Thanks for the Tip: ‘DAYDREAMS’ Opening Reception on Friday
Did you know you can tell us about events you think we should know about!? We love hearing about the things that our readers love—like the ‘DAYDREAMS’ solo exhibition of photography by Baxter Miller that is opening tonight, Friday, June 3, at 5:30 p.m. at Charlotte Russell Contemporary! The opening reception is free and everyone is invited.
Hang Out Downtown on Saturday
It’s a busy Saturday in Downtown Raleigh! Start the day off at the Glitter Ball Pride Month Drag Brunch at the Raleigh Beer Garden at noon—Queens, drink features, food specials, a drag show, and more! Tickets are on sale now but going fast.
Also starting at noon is Raleigh’s Sixth International Food Festival. The event runs until 10 p.m. 30 countries will be represented and there will be food, desserts, wine, beer, dancing, and music. Admission is free.
